Chapter 953 Old 3 is worried

While transferring troops to Changle County, Yun Zheng made some simple adjustments to the personnel of each department.

Generals who had made meritorious contributions in the military campaigns of Qiuchi and Dayue were rewarded.

Yu Shizhong led 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 heavy infantry and 20,000 reserve troops to garrison the Yanhuishan camp. Yu Shizhong was the chief and Wang Qi was the deputy. They were responsible for supervising all affairs of the Yanhuishan camp and the construction of Zhenbei and Jiqing cities. At the same time, Yu Shizhong also had to go to the Military Academy to teach.

Fu Tianyan was the leader, Zuo Ren and Huo Gu were his deputies. They were in charge of 40,000 regular Guiyi troops and, together with Feng Yu's 20,000 elite cavalry, were responsible for all the defense of the former Dayue territory.

Tong Gang led 30,000 troops to garrison Xing'an Fort and was responsible for the defense of the southern line of the Northwest Protectorate.

Deng Bao was the chief and Gao He was the deputy, in charge of the 60,000 newly recruited Guiyi Army.

Qu Zhi and Zhou Mi were transferred to Le'an County, responsible for training troops and cultivating land in Le'an County.

In addition to being in charge of the Blood-Clothed Army, Qin Qihu and Lu Xing were also responsible for preparing 30,000 reserve troops in the three border cities. Wei Jianshan, who was originally supposed to be the Grand Protector of the Northwest Protectorate, was transferred to Qin Qihu to help them prepare the 30,000 reserve troops.

Wei Jianshan used to be a high-ranking and powerful minister, and ordinary people probably couldn't subdue him.

It is most appropriate to use Qin Qihu to defeat this person.

Due to the current situation, except for the Blood-Clothed Army and the Eighteen Ghost Riders, all the troops are moving towards the direction of building a corps. In addition to normal training and garrison tasks, they are also responsible for matters such as farming, road construction, and canal digging.

Food is limited, and there are no major wars for the time being, so we can only split one person into two.

The reason why Yun Zheng did not carry out large-scale disarmament was because he took this into consideration.

However, as long as their food crisis eases, there will still be a division of responsibilities.

In terms of domestic affairs, Yun Zheng ordered Chen Bu, Wei Heng, Lu Dian and seven others to form a cabinet, with Chen Bu as the chief minister.

Although Ye Zi was not in the cabinet, she had the power to supervise the cabinet.

However, Ye Zi no longer needs to deal with some chores.

Shen Luoyan no longer led the army, and began to serve as Ye Zi's deputy, helping Ye Zi deal with some internal affairs.

Madam Shen served as the palace's housekeeper, managing all the servants and secret guards in the mansion.

After Yun Zheng's series of adjustments, Shuobei had the prototype of a small court.

After arranging everything, Yun Zheng spent all day with Zhang Xu tinkering with all kinds of new gadgets.

Yun Zheng is responsible for providing theoretical support, while Zhang Xu is responsible for the practical work.

The two can be considered old partners and they cooperate very skillfully.

Yun Zheng even used two magnets and a coil to give Zhang Xu a simple demonstration of electromagnetic induction.

However, it can only be a demonstration.

It takes time to actually put it into use.

Under such circumstances, Yun Zheng lived a relatively carefree life.

Only the occasional news from the Northwest Protectorate would make him feel a little annoyed.

But he has tried his best.

People were still starving to death over there, and there was nothing he could do.

It was absolutely impossible to ask him to use the military rations to help the starving people in the Northwest Protectorate.

Yun Zheng was feeling free and at ease, but Yun Li, who was far away in the imperial city, felt very uncomfortable.

Originally, Emperor Wen had already embarked on his journey home, which made Yun Li very uncomfortable.

Although he also knew that Emperor Wen's return was a good thing, he could not ascend the throne, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Today, the spy from Fuzhou sent another letter.

After learning the contents of the letter, Yun Li felt terrible.

Yun Zheng’s army has already left Beilu Pass!

A rough estimate is that there are at least 60,000 to 70,000 people.

However, there were only about 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers, and the rest were people escorting food and fodder, and they looked like civilians.

But even if there were thirty or forty thousand people, Yun Li was still very nervous.

God knows what Yun Zheng is going to do by sending out such a large army?

He seriously suspected that this bastard didn't dare to vent his anger on his father, so he came to him.

Yun Li could no longer sit still, and urgently summoned the four regents left to him by Emperor Wen to discuss the matter.

Soon, Xiao Wanchou and others hurried to the Prince's Mansion.

After all four people arrived, Yun Li told them the news he had received.

"Your Highness, is this news reliable?"

Xiao Wanchou frowned, looking worried.

"This is absolutely true!"

Yun Li answered confidently.

"30,000 to 40,000 troops, plus the 10,000 troops that Fuzhou already has, that's 50,000 troops!"

Tang Shu's face was solemn. "Yun Zheng's troops are all elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. From Fuzhou to the Imperial City, there is almost no defense except the natural barrier of Qijiang River! If this 50,000-strong army attacks the Imperial City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it!"

After listening to Tang Shu's analysis, Yun Li's face became even uglier.

"impossible!"

Xiao Wanchou shook his head, "I am sure that Yun Zheng is definitely not going to attack the Imperial City!"

“How come you see?”

Yun Li asked.

"Your Highness, think about it. How many cavalrymen are there in the army that Yun Zheng is in charge of?"

Xiao Wanchou frowned and said, "If Your Highness is Yun Zheng, if Your Highness wants to march towards the imperial city, is it possible that you would only send infantry? If Yun Zheng really wants to rebel, and directly sends cavalry to raid Juzhou and Suizhou, the court may not be able to react in time, right?"

Moreover, if Yun Zheng really wanted to rebel, why would he let Emperor Wen back?

Listening to Xiao Wanchou's words, Yun Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yes!

If he were Yun Zheng, he would directly send 50,000 elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack. As soon as the imperial court received the news, his troops would probably have arrived at the foot of the imperial city!

"Mr. Yuguo has a point."

Although Xu Shifu and Xiao Wanchou disagreed, they still nodded in agreement, "In my opinion, Yun Zheng is probably threatening the court! In the final analysis, he just wants to ask the court and His Highness for a debt..."

Debt collection?

Yun Li suddenly started to react.

Yes, the court owed him grain, and I owed him silver, but I haven’t paid him yet.

With that dog thing, it would be strange if it didn't make some noise!

"In that case, give him the silver and food!"

Tang Shu suggested: "This is what the court and His Highness promised him. If he doesn't give it to him, it will not only damage the reputation of the court and His Highness, but also give Yun Zheng the opportunity to make a fuss about it!"

Yun Li lowered his brows in thought, seemingly hesitant.

To be honest, he has been a little inflated recently because of the marriage with Princess Yangjin.

If they unite with the other tribes in western Mo to deal with Yun Zheng, they may have a chance of winning!

Give or not give.

This is a difficult problem!

"Give it!"

Xu Shifu sighed softly, "Your Highness, don't forget that your Highness and Princess Yangjin are getting married soon. If your Highness doesn't give it to me, Yun Zheng will probably take advantage of your Highness's wedding to embarrass the court and your Highness..."

When Xu Shifu reminded him, Yun Li was suddenly startled.

He almost forgot about it!

Yes!

With this bastard's temper, he is totally capable of doing such a thing!

It can even be said that Yunzheng will definitely do this!

This bastard will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble for himself and the court every day!

"Just give it!"

Gu Xiu also followed suit and advised, "There's no need to anger Yun Zheng at this moment."

Of the four regents, three agreed to give it.

What else can Yun Li say?

"All right!"

Yun Li was filled with reluctance. Although he knew that this was a last resort, he still felt upset.

"Even if we give you food and silver, you still have to be careful about Yun Zheng causing trouble during your highness' wedding!"

Xiao Wanchou sighed softly, "Although I think Yun Zheng is unlikely to attack the imperial city, we still have to guard against these 50,000 elite soldiers! The troops at the front of Juzhou are probably far from enough!"
